I am modeiling a lit bottle shelf taht goes against a wall in a bar. I want to put a strip light in it to shine through the acrlic lens at the top of the shelf. I tried putting a stip fixture component in it but it faces the wrong way and wont flip 180d. Is there a better way to do this? ideally I'd like it to render as if it were lit as well as being able to poin to the light fixture in a section view. Help? thanks.

Rather than mess around with a light fixture you may wish to experiment with a different approach. Edit the Accurender material assigned to your glass shelf (right click on the material) and change the self luminesence value higher than the default 0. This will allow the material to glow in your rendering and may produce the effect you are after.

Thank you I'll try that. I did get it to flip - I mirrored it rather than rotated it.
